Abstract：Many communist regimes have presided over episodes of rapid industrial development, often coupled bythe establishment of a planned economic system where in the state replaces the market as the primary provider of essential resources and services. We argue that life experience under a communist-style industrial workplace fosters a distinct and enduring set of norms and habits that shape how citizens engage with political authorities. Leveraging exogenous variations created by China's Third Front (TF) campaign, amassive industrial relocation project that moved large-scale industrial-administrative complexes into ruraland interior areas between the 1960s-1970s, we show that residents from former TF areas today are more active in contacting the government about personal and community affairs, and hold stronger preferences for state-sponsored participation channels over more contentious ones. Additional analyses suggest that these behavioral patterns are less a strategic response to current local conditions than a result of early socialization. These findings highlight important subnational variations in national communist experiences and underscore the persistent influence of early communist institutions on citizen-government interactions in late communist societies.

许多社会主义政权都曾经历过工业快速发展的阶段，与之相伴的往往是计划经济体制的建立，在这种体制下，国家代替市场成为基础资源和服务的主要提供者。本研究发现，在社会主义“单位制”下的生活经验形成了一套独特而持久的规范和习惯，塑造了公民与政府互动的方式。我们利用中国三线建设运动（20世纪60-70年代将大规模的工业与行政综合体迁入内陆地区的迁徙项目）的外生变化，说明了如今在原三线建设地区的民众会更积极地进行政治参与，并且更倾向于国家支持的制度化参与渠道，而非抗争性渠道。补充分析表明，这些行为模式更多是早期社会化的结果，而非对当地状况的策略性反应。这些发现凸显了国家社会主义经验中重要的次国家差异，并强调了早期社会主义制度对后改革时期公民与政府互动的持续影响。
